EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the NFS (London Region) fireboat tender, named "2nd II London," moored on the River Thames near Blackfriars river station during World War II. The Victoria Embankment can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of historical context. The London Fire Brigade's fireboats played a crucial role during wartime, providing essential firefighting services on the Thames and protecting the capital's vital transport infrastructure from damage. The image shows a group of firemen, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, standing on the deck of the tender, ready for action. Their determined expressions and focused gaze convey the intensity and urgency of their work. Fireboats like the "2nd II London" were equipped with powerful pumps and hoses, enabling them to tackle fires on board ships or along the riverbanks. The 1940s were a challenging time for London, with the city under constant threat from air raids and the Blitz. Firefighters, including those manning the fireboats, worked tirelessly to keep the city safe and protect its inhabitants. This photograph is a poignant reminder of their bravery and dedication during a period of great adversity. The NFS (London Region) fireboat tender "2nd II London" was one of several fireboats operated by the London Fire Brigade during World War II. Its presence on the Thames served as a vital deterrent against potential threats and ensured that the city's vital transport infrastructure remained operational. This photograph offers a unique insight into the wartime role of the London Fire Brigade and the vital work of its fireboats and crew.
